“Jody Stahancyk is an Inspiration”
In a recent letter to the editor of the Central Oregonian, Mercedes Rhoden-Feely writes about how Jody Stahancyk has inspired her.
“At the Crook County High School graduation, Jody Stahancyk addressed the ‘grit’ unique to the Crook County community. Being from Prineville I appreciate Jody’s message, but more importantly I appreciate her actions to support those of us who hail from Crook County. For example, Jody has recently given me a great opportunity to work as an associate attorney at Stahancyk, Kent and Hook, because I am from Crook County. Every member of our community should strive to promote Crook County as Jody does.”
